    Right, after a lot of researching and calling companies I've set my sights on BT's 2mb Broadband and Total Talk package. Looks good and has the important FREE international calls that I'm after.

    What I'm wondering though is, is there anywhere I can see the further details of their broadband service? Stuff such as finding out the contention ratio I might be receiving.

    Any help would be great.

    Have a look at www.getbroadband.ie
    It lists some details like contention, of the various products available in your area.

    Contention is the same as all the Eircom resellers.
    48:1 on 1 & 2 meg
    24:1 on the 3 meg

    Thats the norm for all the Eircom resellers, ie. BT, UTV, Perlico etc.

    The BT bundles are the best value around atm.

    You might want to have a read of this before proceeding, just so you have you're eyes open. Also, I've noticed a fair bit of people complaining about BT's contention (or speed issues anyway) of late. For some it's great, for some it's not. Don't think I'd want to take the chance, even for the price.

    I ended up signing up with BT Ireland. Got a great deal with free connection, free wireless router and a free upgrade from 2mb Broadband to 3mb.

    Can't wait for it to start :)
